Very happy to see a full room at our #RecSys2025 tutorial "Hands on #QuantumComputing for Recommender Systems" presented by me and Paolo Cremonesi. We covered gate model QC and #quantumannealing with examples on community detection and feature selection.

Back from IEEE #QuantumWeek in Albuquerque.
Next stop: Bologna for the Italian Information Science Conference, where tomorrow I'll give an invited talk on using #MachineLearning for #QuantumComputing: circuit design, minor embedding, and bosonic state preparation. See you there!

A.I. is changing classrooms. We spoke to the co-founder of Alpha Schools about how her private K-12 schools are using A.I. to generate personalized lesson plans and enabling teachers to spend their time motivating rather than teaching students. nyti.ms/3JHIZub

See you in Albuquerque for #QCE2025 where my PhD student @ricpellini will present “On the Correct Implementation of the Walsh Series Loader”.

We propose how to implement an essential component that was not described in the original paper.

Heading back from #SIGIR2025!

It was a pleasure to spend this week in the beautiful Padova meeting and discussing with the community, alongside my PhD students Riccardo Pellini and Michael Benigni

Entering my last month as a visiting researcher at the SQMS Center, #Fermilab, working on state preparation for Bosonic #quantumcomputing.

It has been a great experience so far! Sad to see this period come to a close, but I’m glad the project we've been working on will continue as I return home.

Dear colleague/student, prepare to reschedule all meetings!

Excited to be leaving for a three months visiting at #Fermilab, Chicago, where I will work on machine learning methods for state preparation on bosonic #quantumcomputing! The expedition is funded by the EU NGI Enrichers program @ngi4eu.bsky.social
